travel. Berlin (2). The poplar pollen.

Flash number two.

giant poplars on the river Spree and the Elbe.

poplar trees - which can grow quite large. In Berlin and Dresden, I have now seen real monumental poplar trees. Really impressive. Although not bred exquisite and valuable tree species certainly even more a proletarian even in the city of trees, but performed his duty conscientiously: he brings lush foliage and shade, grows fast and looks - if it can really grow in size - from even imposing.

If just ... In Moscow, for example, should this not a poplar tree.

following story I can tell me again: In order to greening the city of Moscow as quickly as possible, have the Soviet Planwirtschaftler (sometime shortly after the war) has to plant as many trees poplar - Because they grow just as fast.

What Planwirtschaftler not to have considered was the balanced proportion between the male and female poplars. As a result, caused by a few years later, in late May - early June right poplar pollen clouds. It snowed so literally in Moscow. One or two weeks. Then the poplar pollen snow was completely gone. In a rainy early summer even faster.

someone fits not do that. And so ugly, they said. Eventually they began to speak of a poplar tree pollen allergy. In the interest of general protection allergy before - it was decided to cut away the poplar trees, the crown, so they are never really ready, and spread any pollen.

now stood crippled the poplar trees. Special cynicism was probably the fact that the trees were allowed to stay alive, but just humiliated, crippled and shorn with the same brush. A botanical totalitarianism. (And not in the interest of beauty, such as in the French gardens.)

Significantly, Russia has the big change in the poplar trees brought no salvation. As soon as one of the shock therapy from the early 90's has collected years, they went back to the poplar trees go. As if the concern for the aesthetic feelings of the people not just as noble and patriotic goal. Certainly many a grumble

Berlin and Dresden each May on the intrusive flakes of the poplars. (Did they not paying attention as well as in Germany the gender proportion of the poplars?), Thank God, but so far they endure this short version with plague and grow the poplar trees. Good.

you soon.
